Thought of the Day:
At what point does it become unhealthy to make friendships with other people online? When does it become damaging? If you start to value "online friends" more than "real life" friends, then what happens if an online friend suddenly drops off the face of the planet? Is it unhealthy to form a dependence upon the support and advice and self-esteem boosts from people you've actually never met? Am I stupid for thinking I can form real friendships online, as I'm being denied real friendships in my "real life"?
